Hartford at The Growl

[Dane Pound]

We've sold out for of the last five of these games. Tonight?

 

According to the Troy Record Morgan Sabia might not play tonight due to a knee injury. Hate to see that happen to a senior down the stretch.

Game notes say last year's BPG drew 4,410 - 128 short of capacity. Last six have all been over 4K.

 

T-U had a story on the foul-shooting woes today, but the link isn't working at the moment.

It was close at the end, but UA prevailed - 62-59. How was the crowd?

Thanks for the info. How was the weather before game time?

[yboord028]

Iati!

[UAalum72]

Mostly just drizzling in the Albany area, but a little icing and slushy on the roads and sidewalks.

 

The student sections were just about full, but quite a few empty seats in the chairbacks (including the Hartford section).

 

Valiant effort by MsGDG in the foul shooting contest. Would not have been out of place on the varsity.

Iati!

 

!!! LOVE HIM!!! Drained a three and two huge foul shots, plus harassed Zeglinski every second. That kid has heart.

Awesome win, I hate playing Hartford. They always seem to be a huge pain in the ass. Tonight our team just fought and never gave up. Every time Hartford made a run we answered, be it a long three by Iati or a corner three by Devlin to stop the momentum.

 

Black, awesome game, 11pts, 7ast and ZERO to's, Ambrose came to play, Devlin...what can you say about the kid. Improving every game and a lock for the all rookie team. Hustled all over the place pulling down boards, hitting some shots. To bad he missed those two front ends, only blemish on the game for him.

 

Allen and Iati clutch ft's

 

Alone in fourth place....wooooo! Also, my prediction of 12 games met, the rest is gravy but I WANT MORE!

[Dane Pound]

That was an ugly first half. I was glad to see everyone come back after halftime. We didn't really need so add so much drama at the end. Thanks Joe Zeglinski.

 

11-16 from the FT line. Better

 

I've taken him for granted but I though Tim was terrific tonight. I also liked the way Mike Black played. Seemed a lot more aggressive and attacked more than I've seen him recently.

 

Looking at the stats Puk didn't have a block - seriously?

 

Didn't like the way Watts looked at all. Seemed very tentative to me. I really thought he'd be the guy at the end of the game chasing Zelinski around.

 

I liked watching Metcalf on the court but as much so on the bench. 10 rebounds on the court, on the bench he was trying to fire guys up or pick them up.

I didn't win but I was better than GDG when he did it a few years ago. Although I did have to use his shoes (which shockingly didn't fit) since I came ill-prepared to be on the court. I was just happy I had no air balls. As GDG noted, I had a better free-throw % than the team did against New Hampshire Wednesday....haha.

[Eli]

I wish they'd pick me for some of the shooting competitions.

[UAalum72]

Watts ... I really thought he'd be the guy at the end of the game chasing Zelinski around.

Iati quicker and a better ball-denier per the T-U Danes' Iati makes most of matchups

 

Andrew Catalon teased TV-13's sports with 'Wait'll you hear what Coach Abe had to say about the refs". All she actually said was that Hartford got all the calls and we didn't get any ... but anything else she might have said would have been justified. Danes' women absorb defeat

[UA'08]

Good win. See what happens when you hit your free throws.

 

Also glad ti hear that albany sold out its 500 seat allotment for thursdays game. Should be rral exciting for the players anf alumni.
